For years now, the North Wilkesboro Speedway in North Carolina, has sat abandoned. Dormant and decaying, long gone from the iconic days of Nascar Winston Cup races and thousands of fans. Back in 2018, the future wasn't looking so promising. But, after new support from the state and famous racing driver Dale Earnhardt Jr., the track is back! Renovations have been made with the new 2023, Nascar All Star race taking place at North Wilkesboro on May 21! Join me today as I take a look at how this all happened and how this iconic abandoned location was resurrected.

If it's possible to get you and Emmi tickets, you should really go to the all-star race. After all, I fully believe your video was a significant part of the track's revival.

It might be a misplacement of funds, but I say it's better that the money go to a historic site that generates revenue as opposed to some gaudy mall or condos that a senator coincidentally has investments in. Also, it's pretty neat that Junior is so involved with the revival of this track. I think Dale would be proud.

The Speedway is located in my hometown and the re-opening of the track is almost a saving Grace to an otherwise area in decline. However while all attention is being focused on the remodeling and re-opening of the Speedway, what isn’t being reported is the almost non existent parking and infrastructure in place to handle the NASCAR race.

As someone who lives in Wilkes County, I can't tell you how hard the people here fought to keep the track alive... When it was the First Union 400, this track brought soo much money and excitement to this community. When it was removed from the NASCAR season, our county struggled a lot economically. Tyson and Lowe's Hardware were our only big cooperate employment opportunities. Big thanks indeed to the NASCAR legends who respect and love our track. So much life has been brought back to our community because of them.

My grandmother grew up on speedway ln, and was lucky enough have driven on the track many times. Her brothers were big time bootleggers in wilkesboro and had connections deep in the stock car racing scene. Bringing back a track like is legendary because it doesnt just bring back that old spirit, it brings back the people who made life long memories and nascar history in that community. That first race back will have a very unique feeling, almost 100 years of racing resurrected from the dust

I was overjoyed to see it get so much cleaner and see signs hung up towards the highway saying "Save the racetrack!" back in 2022. Since I no longer live close by, I cannot visit like i used to, but I hope this track has decades of success!

I had someone criticized my comment about the fact that federal funds, part of the massive infrastructure bill, were used to renovate this track. Well here is something to consider. The state of NC has nearly 10% of their bridges that are considered unsatisfactory. The public water systems are in need of millions of dollars in repair. There are over 1300 dams that are considered high hazard potential. And the state schools have an estimated expenditure gap of over 600 million dollars. Marcus Smith, who is now the president of what was formally know as Speedway Motorsports (they own the track) is estimated to be worth anywhere from 550 million to 1.4 billion dollars. And Dale Earnhardt Jr is estimated to be worth 300 million dollars. So why was there a need for government assistance for the renovation of this track? It seems like the people of NC are getting screwed, while the multimillionaires are getting richer.

Absolutely love the vids you do of this track. Would love you to do others and possibly abandoned places in video game history.

I'm very happy but also very sad Nazareth Speedway will likely never be able to have this kind of treatment. Nazareth Speedway would be amazing if it could operate today :-( I wish North Wilkesboro the best of luck and I hope to see Jeff Gordon somewhere with his rainbow suit :))

I'm happy it's getting fixed up. I hope the money made there goes back into the community. I wish more was invested in the public infrastructure around NC in general, though. Public transportation is virtually nonexistent outside of cities, and I've noticed traffic is gradually building in my area. Road and house expansion is pretty much wiping away the agricultural landscape.

Racetracks across the country have been closing because apartments and homes are being built close by the tracks and people complain then the tracks close and its been a never ending cycle for the last few years. so this change i welcome and it is really promising for the future of racing i just hope more tracks will be saved. I love seeing tracks getting saved and im tired of seeing them demolished for apartment complexes.

I was just thinking about your video last night and how it would be cool if you could do an update or even come to the All-Star Race. I went to the Revival Race back in August and my buddies and I have tickets for the upcoming race. Can't wait!

Racetrack Revival is doing the same thing at a track close to my neck of the woods, Pennsboro Speedway in West Virginia.
